Minimum age for alt-credit attainment?
#6
@OP, Yes and No, there are age requirements... All content or course providers (college credit bearing or not) have to follow Privacy Policy Acts, it's been the case since COPPA came into effect for children's privacy protection, that act is directed to anyone under 13.  As an example, since Sophia.org was mentioned, they do have an age requirement of 13, here's an old post in 2020.  https://www.facebook.com/sophia.org/post...5623775119

There is a workaround of course, have the guardian or parent sit with the student and sign up, thus getting parental consent or permission to do so!  Technically it's just for "legal" purposes, it's not fully enforced, most of the details are hidden in their Privacy Policy or Terms of Service/Use.  And an FYI, for Study.com, it's weird they have it at age "sweet 16"... If you're under that "age", just get your parents to pay for it anyways, thus bypassing the age requirement.
